Description

アルミニウム合金ブレージングシートのろう付方法、及び、熱交換器の製造方法Method of brazing aluminum alloy brazing sheet and method of manufacturing heat exchanger
 本発明は、アルミニウム合金ブレージングシートのろう付方法、及び、熱交換器の製造方法に関し、特に、フラックスを使用しないろう付方法、いわゆるフラックスレスろう付方法、及び、フラックスレスろう付方法を用いた熱交換器の製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method of brazing an aluminum alloy brazing sheet and a method of manufacturing a heat exchanger, and in particular, a flux-free brazing method, a so-called fluxless brazing method, and a fluxless brazing method The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a heat exchanger.
 アルミニウム合金製の熱交換器等の部材をろう付するにあたり、真空中において、フラックスを使用せずにろう付を行う真空ろう付という方法が存在する。
 この真空ろう付は、フラックスを使用するフラックスろう付と比較すると、フラックスを塗布する処理が不要、フラックスの塗布量が適切でないことに伴った問題発生の回避等、様々なメリットがある。
In brazing members such as aluminum alloy heat exchangers, there is a method called vacuum brazing in which brazing is performed without using flux in a vacuum.
This vacuum brazing has various merits such as the necessity of the process of applying the flux and the avoidance of the problem caused by the inappropriate application amount of the flux as compared with the flux brazing using the flux.
 しかしながら、真空ろう付は、ろう付時の炉内を真空にした状態で加熱を施す高価な真空炉が必要となるため、作業コストが高くなってしまうとともに、真空にした炉内の制御が難しいことから、作業の困難性も高まってしまう。 However, vacuum brazing requires an expensive vacuum furnace to heat the furnace in a vacuumed state at the time of brazing, which increases the operation cost and makes it difficult to control the vacuumed furnace. This makes the work more difficult.
 このような問題を解決するため、真空中ではない雰囲気下において、フラックスを使用しないフラックスレスろう付に関して研究が進められ、以下のような技術が提案されている。 In order to solve such problems, research has been conducted on fluxless brazing using no flux under an atmosphere not in vacuum, and the following techniques have been proposed.
 具体的には、特許文献1において、質量%で、Mgを0.1~5.0%、Siを3~13%含有するAl-Si系ろう材が最表面に位置するアルミニウムクラッド材を用いる細流路インナーフィンを有する熱交換器のろう付け方法であって、前記Al-Si系ろう材に含まれるSi粒子は、円相当径で0.8μm以上の径をもつものの数の内、1.75μm以上の径のものの数が25%以上であり、減圧を伴わない非酸化性雰囲気で、前記Al-Si系ろう材とろう付け対象部材とを接触密着させ、加熱温度559~620℃において、前記アルミニウムクラッド材と前記ろう付け対象部材とを接合することを特徴とする細流路インナーフィンを有する熱交換器のフラックスレスろう付け方法が開示されている。 Specifically, in Patent Document 1, an aluminum clad material is used in which an Al—Si-based brazing material containing 0.1 to 5.0% of Mg and 3 to 13% of Si by mass% is located on the outermost surface. A method of brazing a heat exchanger having narrow channel inner fins, wherein the Si particles contained in the Al-Si-based brazing material have a circle equivalent diameter of those having a diameter of 0.8 μm or more. The Al-Si-based brazing material is brought into close contact with the brazing target member in a non-oxidizing atmosphere with a pressure of 25% or more and a diameter of 75 μm or more at a heating temperature of 559 to 620 ° C. There is disclosed a fluxless brazing method of a heat exchanger having narrow channel inner fins, characterized in that the aluminum clad material and the brazing target member are joined.

 特許文献1に係る技術は、真空ではない不活性ガス雰囲気におけるフラックスレスろう付に関する技術であり、所定の効果について検討している。
 しかしながら、特許文献1に係る技術では、十分なろう付性を発揮できない。詳細には、特許文献1の実施例1~23、29~58によると、ろう材に0.1~3質量%のMgを含有させており、このMgがろう付加熱時の昇温過程において、ろう材表面でのMgOの生成を促進させてしまう。その結果、特許文献1の実施例1~23、29~58によると、ろう材表面のMgOがろう溶融時に障害となって、ろう付性を低下させてしまうおそれがある。
 なお、特許文献1の実施例24~28ではろう材にBiを含有させているが、実施例24~26はろう材のBiの含有量が少なく、実施例27、28はBiの含有量が多いため、いずれの場合もろう付性を十分には発揮できない。
The technique according to Patent Document 1 relates to fluxless brazing in an inert gas atmosphere that is not a vacuum, and is examining a predetermined effect.
However, the technology according to Patent Document 1 can not exhibit sufficient brazeability. In detail, according to Examples 1 to 23 and 29 to 58 of Patent Document 1, the brazing material contains 0.1 to 3% by mass of Mg, and this Mg is in the temperature rising process at the time of the brazing addition heat. And promote the formation of MgO on the surface of the brazing material. As a result, according to Examples 1 to 23 and 29 to 58 of Patent Document 1, MgO on the surface of the brazing material may become an obstacle at the time of brazing and melting, and the brazing property may be reduced.
In Examples 24 to 28 of Patent Document 1, Bi is contained in the brazing material, but in Examples 24 to 26, the content of Bi in the brazing material is small, and in Examples 27 and 28, the content of Bi is Since there are many, in any case, it is not possible to fully exhibit brazeability.
 そこで、本発明は、優れたろう付性を発揮することができるアルミニウム合金ブレージングシートのろう付方法、及び、熱交換器の製造方法を提供することを課題とする。 Then, this invention makes it a subject to provide the brazing method of the aluminum alloy brazing sheet which can exhibit the outstanding brazing property, and the manufacturing method of a heat exchanger.
 すなわち、本発明に係るアルミニウム合金ブレージングシートのろう付方法は、心材と、前記心材の一方の面に設けられるろう材と、を備えるアルミニウム合金ブレージングシートのろう付方法であって、前記心材は、Mg:2.0質量%以下(0質量%を含む)であるアルミニウム合金からなり、前記ろう材は、Si、Bi、Mgを含有するアルミニウム合金からなり、前記ろう材のSiの含有量をCSi質量%とし、前記ろう材のBiの含有量をCBi質量%とし、前記ろう材のMgの含有量をCMg-b質量%とし、前記心材のMgの含有量をCMg-c質量%とし、CMg=CMg-b+CMg-c/2とした場合に、3≦CSi≦13、0.13CMg -0.3≦CBi≦0.58CMg 0.45、CMg-b≧0.1、0.2≦CMg≦1.1、を満たし、前記アルミニウム合金ブレージングシートを不活性ガス雰囲気においてフラックスを用いずに560~620℃の加熱温度によってろう付する。 That is, a brazing method of an aluminum alloy brazing sheet according to the present invention is a brazing method of an aluminum alloy brazing sheet including a core and a brazing material provided on one surface of the core, wherein the core is Mg: 2.0 mass% or less (including 0 mass%) comprising an aluminum alloy, the brazing material comprising an aluminum alloy containing Si, Bi, and Mg, the Si content of the brazing material being C Si mass%, Bi content of the brazing material is C Bi mass%, Mg content of the brazing material is C Mg-b mass%, Mg content of the core material is C Mg-c mass % and then, C Mg = C Mg-b + C when the Mg-c / 2, 3 ≦ C Si ≦ 13,0.13C Mg -0.3 ≦ C Bi ≦ 0.58C Mg 0.45, C Mg -B ≧ 0 1 and 0.2 ≦ C Mg ≦ 1.1, and the aluminum alloy brazing sheet is brazed at a heating temperature of 560 to 620 ° C. without using a flux in an inert gas atmosphere.
 このように、本発明に係るアルミニウム合金ブレージングシートのろう付方法は、使用するアルミニウム合金ブレージングシートの心材及びろう材の成分の含有量、例えば、心材及びろう材のMgの含有量とろう材のBiの含有量との関係等が特定されていることから、心材及びろう材のMgがろう材のBiと反応する(トラップされる)ことで、ろう材表面でのMgOの生成が抑制される。さらに、ろう付加熱時のろう溶融時において、Biと反応したMgは母相(ろう材)に溶解するため、Mgの蒸発が促進され、ろう材表面に形成された酸化膜がMgの蒸発時に好適に破壊されるとともに、このMgが雰囲気中の酸素と反応することで雰囲気の酸素濃度が低下し溶融ろうの再酸化が抑制される。また、母相に溶解したBiがろうの流動性を高める。その結果、本発明に係るアルミニウム合金ブレージングシートのろう付方法は、優れたろう付性を発揮する。 Thus, in the brazing method of the aluminum alloy brazing sheet according to the present invention, the core material of the aluminum alloy brazing sheet used and the content of the components of the brazing material, for example, the Mg content of the core and brazing material and the brazing material Since the relationship with the content of Bi, etc. is specified, the formation of MgO on the surface of the brazing material is suppressed by the reaction (trap) of Mg of the core material and the brazing material with Bi of the brazing material. . In addition, Mg which has reacted with Bi dissolves in the matrix (brazing material) during brazing and melting when brazing is applied heat, so evaporation of Mg is promoted, and the oxide film formed on the brazing material surface is evaporated during Mg evaporation. While being suitably destroyed, the reaction of this Mg with oxygen in the atmosphere lowers the concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere and suppresses reoxidation of the molten wax.

 以下、本実施形態に係るブレージングシートの心材及びろう材の各成分について数値限定した理由を詳細に説明する。
[Aluminum alloy brazing sheet]

 また、本実施形態に係るブレージングシートの心材は、Mn、Si、Cu、Fe、Ti、Cr、Zr、Liをさらに適宜含有していてもよい。
[Heart material]
The core material of the brazing sheet according to the present embodiment is made of an aluminum alloy (including pure aluminum), and more specifically, an aluminum alloy having Mg of 2.0% by mass or less (including 0% by mass). As such an aluminum alloy, an Al-Cu alloy of JIS 2000 series, an Al-Mn alloy of JIS 3000 series, an Al-Mg alloy of JIS 5000 series, an Al-Mg-Si alloy of JIS 6000 series, etc. Can be used.
Moreover, the core material of the brazing sheet according to the present embodiment may further contain Mn, Si, Cu, Fe, Ti, Cr, Zr, and Li as appropriate.
(心材のMg:2.0質量%以下)
 心材のMgは、強度を向上させる。また、心材のMgは、ろう付加熱時の昇温過程にろう材へ拡散し、ろう溶融温度で雰囲気中に蒸発し、雰囲気中の酸素と反応する。その結果、ろう材表面に形成された酸化膜がMgの蒸発時に好適に破壊されるとともに、雰囲気中の酸素濃度が低下し溶融ろうの再酸化が抑制される(ゲッター作用)ことによって、ろう付性を向上させる。なお、ろう材のMgもゲッター作用を奏することから、ろう材のMgの含有量が多い場合は、心材のMgの含有量は少なくてもよく、0質量%であってもよい。
 一方、Mgの含有量が2.0質量%を超えると、ろう材のBiによってMgをトラップしきれず、ろう材表面でのMgOの生成が促進されてしまい、ろう付性が低下する。
 したがって、心材のMgの含有量は、2.0質量%以下(0質量%を含む)である。
(Mg in core: 2.0 mass% or less)
Heartwood Mg improves strength. In addition, Mg of the core material diffuses to the brazing material during the heating process at the time of heat addition to the brazing material, evaporates into the atmosphere at the brazing melting temperature, and reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere. As a result, the oxide film formed on the surface of the brazing material is suitably destroyed at the time of evaporation of Mg, and the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere is lowered to suppress reoxidation of molten brazing (getter action). Improve the quality. In addition, since Mg of the brazing material also exerts a getter action, when the content of Mg of the brazing material is large, the content of Mg of the core material may be small, or may be 0 mass%.
On the other hand, if the content of Mg exceeds 2.0% by mass, the Bi of the brazing material can not trap Mg, the formation of MgO on the surface of the brazing material is promoted, and the brazing property is reduced.
Therefore, the content of Mg in the core material is 2.0% by mass or less (including 0% by mass).
(心材のMn:2.5質量%以下)
 心材のMnは、強度を向上させる。ただし、Mnの含有量が2.5質量%を超えると、Al-Mn系化合物が多くなり、材料製造工程中に割れが生じるおそれがある。
 したがって、心材にMnを含有させる場合、Mnの含有量は、2.5質量%以下である。
(Mn of core material: 2.5 mass% or less)
The core material Mn improves the strength. However, when the content of Mn exceeds 2.5% by mass, the amount of the Al—Mn-based compound increases, and there is a possibility that a crack may occur during the material manufacturing process.
Therefore, when the core material contains Mn, the content of Mn is 2.5% by mass or less.
 なお、Mnを含有させることによって得られる強度の向上という効果をより確実なものとするため、心材のMnの含有量は、0.5質量%以上が好ましい。 In addition, in order to make the effect of the improvement of the intensity | strength obtained by containing Mn more reliable, as for content of Mn of a core material, 0.5 mass% or more is preferable.
(心材のSi:1.2質量%以下)
 心材のSiは、強度を向上させる。ただし、Siの含有量が1.2質量%を超えると、心材の固相線温度が低下するため、耐エロージョン性が低下するとともに、ろう流動性が低下するため、ろう付性が低下する。
 したがって、心材にSiを含有させる場合、Siの含有量は1.2質量%以下である。
(Si of core: less than 1.2% by mass)
The core material Si improves the strength. However, if the content of Si exceeds 1.2% by mass, the solidus temperature of the core material is lowered, so that the erosion resistance is lowered and the solderability is lowered, so that the brazing property is lowered.
Accordingly, when the core material contains Si, the content of Si is 1.2% by mass or less.
 なお、Siを含有させることによって得られる強度の向上という効果をより確実なものとするため、心材のSiの含有量は、0.05質量%以上が好ましい。 In addition, in order to make the effect of the improvement of the strength obtained by containing Si more reliable, as for content of Si of a core material, 0.05 mass% or more is preferable.
(心材のCu:3.0質量%以下)
 心材のCuは、心材の電位を貴化させ耐食性を向上させる。ただし、Cuの含有量が3.0質量%を超えると、心材の固相線温度が低下するため、耐エロージョン性が低下するとともに、ろう流動性が低下するため、ろう付性が低下する。
 したがって、心材にCuを含有させる場合、Cuの含有量は3.0質量%以下である。
(Cu of core material: 3.0 mass% or less)
The core material Cu makes the potential of the core material noble and improves the corrosion resistance. However, if the content of Cu exceeds 3.0% by mass, the solidus temperature of the core material is lowered, so that the erosion resistance is lowered and the solderability is lowered, so that the brazing property is lowered.
Therefore, when making a core material contain Cu, content of Cu is 3.0 mass% or less.
 なお、Cuを含有させることによって得られる耐食性の向上という効果をより確実なものとするため、心材のCuの含有量は、0.05質量%以上が好ましい。 In addition, in order to make the effect of the improvement of the corrosion resistance obtained by containing Cu more reliable, as for content of Cu of a core material, 0.05 mass% or more is preferable.
(心材のFe:1.5質量%以下)
 心材のFeは、固溶強化作用により強度を向上させる。ただし、Feの含有量が1.5質量%を超えると、粗大な金属間化合物が形成されることによって、成形性を低下させるおそれがある。
 したがって、心材にFeを含有させる場合、Feの含有量は、1.5質量%以下である。
(Fe in core: less than 1.5% by mass)
The core material Fe improves strength by solid solution strengthening action. However, when the content of Fe exceeds 1.5% by mass, there is a possibility that the formability is reduced due to the formation of a coarse intermetallic compound.
Therefore, when the core material contains Fe, the content of Fe is 1.5% by mass or less.
 なお、Feを含有させることによって得られる強度の向上という効果をより確実なものとするため、心材のFeの含有量は、0.05質量%以上が好ましい。 In addition, in order to make the effect of the improvement of the strength obtained by containing Fe more reliable, as for content of Fe of core material, 0.05 mass% or more is preferable.
(心材のTi:0.5質量%以下)
 心材のTiは、心材の電位を貴化させ耐食性を向上させる。ただし、Tiの含有量が0.5質量%を超えると、粗大な金属間化合物が形成されることによって、成形性を低下させるおそれがある。
 したがって、心材にTiを含有させる場合、Tiの含有量は、0.5質量%以下である。
(Ti: 0.5 mass% or less of core material)
The core material Ti nobles the potential of the core material and improves the corrosion resistance. However, when the content of Ti exceeds 0.5% by mass, there is a possibility that the formability is reduced due to the formation of a coarse intermetallic compound.
Therefore, when making a core material contain Ti, content of Ti is 0.5 mass% or less.
 なお、Tiを含有させることによって得られる耐食性の向上という効果をより確実なものとするため、心材のTiの含有量は、0.01質量%以上が好ましい。 In addition, in order to make the effect of the improvement of the corrosion resistance obtained by containing Ti more reliable, as for content of Ti of a core material, 0.01 mass% or more is preferable.
(心材のCr:0.5質量%以下)
 心材のCrは、Al-Cr系の分散粒子を形成し、心材の強度を向上させる。ただし、Crの含有量が0.5質量%を超えると、粗大な金属間化合物が形成されることによって、成形性を低下させるおそれがある。
 したがって、心材にCrを含有させる場合、Crの含有量は、0.5質量%以下である。
(Cr of core material: 0.5 mass% or less)
The core material Cr forms dispersed particles of Al-Cr system to improve the strength of the core material. However, when the content of Cr exceeds 0.5% by mass, there is a possibility that the formability is reduced due to the formation of a coarse intermetallic compound.
Therefore, when making a core material contain Cr, content of Cr is 0.5 mass% or less.
 なお、Crを含有させることによって得られる強度の向上という効果をより確実なものとするため、心材のCrの含有量は、0.01質量%以上が好ましい。 In addition, in order to make the effect of the improvement of the strength obtained by containing Cr more reliable, as for content of Cr of core material, 0.01 mass% or more is preferable.
(心材のZr:0.5質量%以下)
 心材のZrは、Al-Zr系の分散粒子を形成し、心材の強度を向上させる。ただし、Zrの含有量が0.5質量%を超えると、粗大な金属間化合物が形成されることによって、成形性を低下させるおそれがある。
 したがって、心材にZrを含有させる場合、Zrの含有量は、0.5質量%以下である。
(Zr of core material: 0.5 mass% or less)
The core material Zr forms dispersed particles of Al-Zr system to improve the strength of the core material. However, when the content of Zr exceeds 0.5% by mass, there is a possibility that the formability is reduced due to the formation of a coarse intermetallic compound.
Therefore, when the core material contains Zr, the content of Zr is 0.5% by mass or less.
 なお、Zrを含有させることによって得られる強度の向上という効果をより確実なものとするため、心材のZrの含有量は、0.01質量%以上が好ましい。 In addition, in order to make the effect of the improvement of the strength obtained by containing Zr more reliable, as for content of Zr of a core material, 0.01 mass% or more is preferable.
 前記した心材のTi、Cr、Zrは、前記した上限値を超えなければ、心材に1種以上、つまり1種が含まれる場合だけでなく、2種以上が含まれていても、本発明の効果を妨げない。 The core material Ti, Cr, and Zr, if not exceeding the upper limit described above, not only when the core material contains one or more types, that is, when one type is included, but two or more types are included in the present invention Do not disturb the effect.
(心材のLi:0.3質量%以下)
 心材のLiは、ろう付性をさらに向上させる。Liがろう付性を向上させる詳細なメカニズムは解明できていないものの、ろう付加熱時のろう溶融時において、Liがろう材表面に形成された酸化膜を破壊することにより、Mgのゲッター作用をさらに好適に発揮させるのではないかと推測する。ただし、Liの含有量が0.3質量%を超えると、ろう付け加熱時の昇温過程において、ろう材表層部へLiが拡散し酸化膜の成長を促進するためろう付性が低下する。
 したがって、心材にLiを含有させる場合、Liの含有量は、0.3質量%以下である。
(Li of core material: 0.3 mass% or less)
Heartwood Li further improves the brazeability. Although the detailed mechanism by which Li improves the brazeability has not been elucidated, the gettering action of Mg is achieved by the destruction of the oxide film formed on the surface of the brazing material during the brazing heat when the brazing heat is applied. It is speculated that it should be made more effective. However, if the content of Li exceeds 0.3% by mass, Li diffuses into the surface layer of the brazing material in the temperature rising process during brazing heating to promote the growth of the oxide film, and the brazing property decreases.
Therefore, when the core material contains Li, the content of Li is 0.3% by mass or less.
 なお、酸化膜の成長を抑制するという観点から、心材のLiの含有量は0.05質量%以下が好ましい。 From the viewpoint of suppressing the growth of the oxide film, the content of Li in the core material is preferably 0.05% by mass or less.
(心材の残部:Al及び不可避的不純物)
 心材の残部はAl及び不可避的不純物であるのが好ましい。そして、心材の不可避的不純物としては、V、Ni、Ca、Na、Sr等が挙げられ、これらの元素は本発明の効果を妨げない範囲で含有されていてもよい。詳細には、V:0.05質量%以下、Ni:0.05質量%以下、Ca:0.05質量%以下、Na:0.05質量%以下、Sr:0.05質量%以下、その他の元素:0.01質量%未満の範囲で含有されていてもよい。そして、これらについては、前記した所定の含有量を超えなければ、不可避的不純物として含有される場合だけではなく、積極的に添加される場合であっても、本発明の効果を妨げず許容される。
 また、前記したMg、Mn、Si、Cu、Fe、Ti、Cr、Zr、Liについては、積極的に添加してもよいが、不可避的不純物として含まれていてもよい。
(Remaining part of heartwood: Al and unavoidable impurities)
The balance of the core material is preferably Al and unavoidable impurities. And, as the unavoidable impurities of the core material, V, Ni, Ca, Na, Sr, etc. may be mentioned, and these elements may be contained in the range which does not disturb the effect of the present invention.

In addition, Mg, Mn, Si, Cu, Fe, Ti, Cr, Zr, and Li may be positively added, but may be contained as unavoidable impurities.
[ろう材]
 本実施形態に係るブレージングシートのろう材は、アルミニウム合金からなり、詳細には、Si、Bi、Mgを含有するアルミニウム合金からなる。このようなアルミニウム合金としては、JIS 4000系のAl-Si系合金(Al-Si-Mg-Bi系合金)やAl-Si-Zn系合金(Al-Si-Zn-Mg-Bi系合金)等を用いることができる。
 また、本実施形態に係るブレージングシートのろう材は、Mn、Ti、Cr、Zr、Zn、Sr、Na、Sb、希土類元素、Liをさらに適宜含有してもよい。
[Brazed material]
The brazing material of the brazing sheet according to the present embodiment is made of an aluminum alloy, and more specifically, made of an aluminum alloy containing Si, Bi, and Mg. As such aluminum alloys, JIS-4000 Al-Si alloys (Al-Si-Mg-Bi alloys), Al-Si-Zn alloys (Al-Si-Zn-Mg-Bi alloys), etc. Can be used.
In addition, the brazing material of the brazing sheet according to the present embodiment may further contain Mn, Ti, Cr, Zr, Zn, Sr, Na, Sb, a rare earth element, and Li as appropriate.
(ろう材のSi:3質量%以上13質量%以下、3≦CSi≦13)
 ろう材のSiは、ろう材の固相線温度を低下させることによって、ろう付加熱温度での液相率を向上させてろうの流動性を高める。Siの含有量が3質量%以上であれば、ろうの流動性が高まり、ろう付性の向上という効果が得られる。一方、Siの含有量が13質量%を超えると、粗大Si粒が形成するとともに、流動ろうが過剰に生成することにより、心材の溶融などのろう付不良が発生するおそれがある。
 したがって、ろう材のSiの含有量は、3質量%以上13質量%以下である。そして、ろう材のSiの含有量をCSi質量%とした場合、3≦CSi≦13である。
(Si: 3 mass% or more and 13 mass% or less of brazing material, 3 ≦ C Si ≦ 13)
By lowering the solidus temperature of the brazing material, the brazing material Si improves the liquid phase rate at the brazing heat addition temperature and enhances the fluidity of the brazing material. When the content of Si is 3% by mass or more, the fluidity of the braze is enhanced, and the effect of improving the brazeability can be obtained. On the other hand, when the content of Si exceeds 13% by mass, coarse Si particles are formed, and excessive flow solder is generated, which may cause brazing failure such as melting of the core material.
Therefore, the content of Si in the brazing material is 3% by mass or more and 13% by mass or less. When the content of Si in the brazing material is C Si mass%, 3 ≦ C Si ≦ 13.
(ろう材のBi:0.13CMg -0.3≦CBi≦0.58CMg 0.45
 ろう材のBiは、心材及びろう材のMgと反応し、ろう溶融温度以下ではほとんど溶解しないMg-Bi系化合物(例えば、BiMg)を生成する。その結果、材料製造工程、及び、ろう付加熱時のろう溶融開始温度までの昇温過程において、Mgのろう材表層部への拡散を抑え、ろう材表面におけるMgOの生成・成長を抑制し(Mgのトラップ作用)、ろう付性を向上させる。また、ろう付加熱時のろう溶融温度では、Mg-Bi系化合物は母相(ろう材)に溶解するため、Mgの蒸発が促進される。そして、ろう材表面に形成された酸化膜がMgの蒸発時に好適に破壊されるとともに、このMgが雰囲気中の酸素と反応することで雰囲気の酸素濃度が低下し溶融ろうの再酸化を抑制する作用(ゲッター作用)が向上し、その結果、ろう付性を向上させる。さらに、Biは、ろうの流動性を高め、ろう付性を向上させる。
(Brazer Bi: 0.13C Mg- 0.3 ≦ C Bi 0.5 0.58C Mg 0.45 )
The brazing material Bi reacts with the core material and the brazing material Mg to form a Mg—Bi-based compound (eg, Bi 2 Mg 3 ) which hardly dissolves below the brazing material melting temperature. As a result, in the material manufacturing process and the temperature raising process up to the brazing melting start temperature during brazing heat addition, the diffusion of Mg to the brazing filler metal surface layer is suppressed, and the formation and growth of MgO on the brazing filler metal surface are suppressed ( Mg trapping effect), improve the brazeability. In addition, at the solder | pewter melting temperature at the time of heat | fever addition heat | fever, in order that a Mg-Bi type-compound melt | dissolves in a mother phase (brazing | wax material), evaporation of Mg is accelerated | stimulated. Then, the oxide film formed on the surface of the brazing material is suitably destroyed at the time of evaporation of Mg, and this Mg reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere, thereby reducing the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere and suppressing reoxidation of the molten wax. The action (getter action) is improved and as a result, the brazability is improved. Furthermore, Bi improves the fluidity of the braze and improves the brazeability.
 前記した効果を適切に発揮させるためには、ろう材のBiの含有量は、心材及びろう材のMgの含有量と関係において、非常に精緻に特定する必要がある。
 詳細には、ろう材のMgの含有量をCMg-b質量%、心材のMgの含有量をCMg-c質量%、CMg=CMg-b+CMg-c/2とした場合、ろう材のBiの含有量が、0.13CMg -0.3未満であると、Mgを十分にトラップできないとともに、ろう材中にフリーなMgが多くなる結果、ろう材表面でMgOが生成されてしまう。加えて、ろう材のBiの含有量が、0.13CMg -0.3未満であると、ろう流動性が低下し、ろう付性が低下する。
 一方、ろう材のBiの含有量が、0.58CMg 0.45を超えても、ろう付性が低下する。この点について、詳細なメカニズムは解明できていないものの、Mgの含有量に対してBiの含有量が多くなると、低融点のBi単体化合物が増え、この化合物がろう付加熱時の低温域から溶融し始め濡れ拡がることで、酸化膜を形成・成長させ、この酸化膜がゲッター作用を抑制してしまうのではないかと推測する。
 したがって、ろう材のBiの含有量は、0.13CMg -0.3以上、0.58CMg 0.45以下である。そして、ろう材のBiの含有量をCBi質量%とした場合、0.13CMg -0.3≦CBi≦0.58CMg 0.45である。
In order to properly exert the above-described effects, the content of Bi in the brazing material needs to be very precisely specified in relation to the content of Mg in the core material and the brazing material.
Specifically, when the content of Mg in the brazing material is CMg-b mass%, the content of Mg in the core material is CMg-c mass%, and CMg = CMg-b + CMg-c / 2, When the content of Bi in the brazing material is less than 0.13 C Mg -0.3 , Mg can not be trapped sufficiently and, as a result, free Mg is increased in the brazing material, so that MgO is generated on the surface of the brazing material. It will In addition, when the content of Bi in the brazing material is less than 0.13 C Mg -0.3 , the brazing flowability decreases and the brazing property decreases.
On the other hand, even if the content of Bi in the brazing material exceeds 0.58 C Mg 0.45 , the brazability decreases. In this respect, although the detailed mechanism has not been elucidated, when the content of Bi increases with respect to the content of Mg, the Bi simple substance having a low melting point increases, and this compound melts from the low temperature range at the time of heat addition. By beginning to wet and spread, an oxide film is formed and grown, and it is speculated that this oxide film may suppress the getter action.
Accordingly, the content of Bi in the brazing material, 0.13C Mg -0.3 or more, 0.58C Mg 0.45 or less. Then, when the content of Bi in the brazing material and C Bi mass%, 0.13C Mg -0.3 ≦ C Bi ≦ 0.58C Mg 0.45.
 「0.13CMg -0.3≦CBi≦0.58CMg 0.45」の係数については、前記のとおり、効果を奏する範囲を特定するためのものであり、多くの実験の結果から導いたものである。 The coefficient of “0.13 C Mg −0.3 ≦ C Bi ≦ 0.58 C Mg 0.45 ” is, as described above, intended to identify the effective range, and is derived from the results of many experiments. It is
(ろう材のMg:0.1質量%以上、CMg-b≧0.1)
 ろう材のMgは、心材のMgと同様、ろう付加熱時のろう溶融温度で雰囲気中に蒸発し、雰囲気中の酸素と反応する。その結果、ろう材表面に形成された酸化膜がMgの蒸発時に好適に破壊されるとともに、雰囲気中の酸素濃度が低下し溶融ろうの再酸化が抑制される(ゲッター作用)ことによって、ろう付性を向上させる。なお、心材のMgもゲッター作用を奏することから、心材のMgの含有量が多い場合は、ろう材のMgの含有量は少なくてもよい。
 しかしながら、Mgの含有量が0.1質量%未満であると、熱間圧延時に耳割れが生じやすくなり、ブレージングシートの歩留まりが悪くなってしまう。この点について、詳細なメカニズムは解明できていないものの、ろう材のMgの含有量が少ないと、低融点のBi単体化合物が増え、この化合物が熱間圧延時に溶融することで、熱間圧延割れを誘発させるのではないかと推測する。なお、Mgの含有量が0.1質量%以上であると、MgがBiと反応し、熱間圧延時にも溶融し難い高融点のBiMgが生成されることにより、熱間圧延割れの発生を回避することができる。
 したがって、ろう材のMgの含有量は、0.1質量%以上である。そして、ろう材のMgの含有量をCMg-b質量%とした場合、CMg-b≧0.1である。
(Mg in brazing material: 0.1% by mass or more, C Mg-b 0.1 0.1)
Similar to the core material Mg, the brazing material Mg evaporates into the atmosphere at the brazing material melting temperature at the time of heat addition, and reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere. As a result, the oxide film formed on the surface of the brazing material is suitably destroyed at the time of evaporation of Mg, and the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere is lowered to suppress reoxidation of molten brazing (getter action). Improve the quality. In addition, since Mg of the core material also exerts a getter action, when the content of Mg of the core material is large, the content of Mg of the brazing material may be small.
However, if the content of Mg is less than 0.1% by mass, edge cracking is likely to occur during hot rolling, and the yield of the brazing sheet is degraded. In this respect, although the detailed mechanism has not been elucidated, when the content of Mg in the brazing material is low, the Bi simplex compound with low melting point is increased, and this compound melts during hot rolling, causing hot rolling cracking. Guess that it may cause In addition, when the content of Mg is 0.1 mass% or more, Mg reacts with Bi, and high-melting point Bi 2 Mg 3 which is hardly melted even during hot rolling is generated, thereby causing hot rolling cracking. Can be avoided.
Therefore, the content of Mg in the brazing material is 0.1% by mass or more. And when content of Mg of a brazing filler metal is made into CMg-b mass%, it is CMg-b > = 0.1.
(ろう材のMgと心材のMg:0.2≦CMg≦1.1)
 ろう材のMgと心材のMgは、前記したとおり、いずれもゲッター作用を発揮することによって、ろう付性を向上させる。
 ただ、ろう材のMgと心材のMgとでは、ゲッター作用への寄与度等が異なるため、ゲッター作用に基づくろう付性の向上という効果を適切に発揮させるためには、ろう材のMgと心材のMgとの含有量を精緻に特定する必要がある。
 ろう材のMgの含有量をCMg-b質量%、心材のMgの含有量をCMg-c質量%、CMg=CMg-b+CMg-c/2とした場合、CMgが0.2未満であると、Mgによるゲッター作用が不十分となり、ろう付性が低下するおそれがある。一方、CMgが1.1を超えると、ろう材のBiによってMgをトラップしきれず、ろう材表面でのMgOの生成が促進されてしまい、ろう付性が低下するおそれがある。
 したがって、0.2≦CMg≦1.1である。
(Mg of brazing material and Mg of core material: 0.2 ≦ C Mg ≦ 1.1)
As described above, Mg of the brazing material and Mg of the core material both improve the brazeability by exerting a getter function.
However, the contribution to the gettering action differs between Mg of the brazing material and Mg of the core material, so in order to properly exhibit the effect of improving the brazeability based on the gettering action, the Mg of the brazing material and the core material It is necessary to precisely specify the content of Mg and Mg.
When Mg content of the brazing material is CMg -b mass%, that of the core material is CMg-c mass%, and CMg = CMg-b + CMg-c / 2, CMg is 0 If it is less than 2, the gettering effect of Mg may be insufficient, and the brazability may be reduced. On the other hand, if C Mg exceeds 1.1, Bi of the brazing material can not trap Mg, generation of MgO on the surface of the brazing material is promoted, and the brazing property may be reduced.
Therefore, 0.2 ≦ C Mg ≦ 1.1.
 なお、Mgを含有させることによって得られるゲッター作用をより確実なものとするため、CMgは、0.3以上が好ましい。また、ろう付性の低下を抑制する観点から、CMgは、0.9以下が好ましい。 In addition, in order to make the getter effect obtained by containing Mg more reliable, C Mg is preferably 0.3 or more. In addition, from the viewpoint of suppressing the decrease in brazing property, C Mg is preferably 0.9 or less.
 「CMg=CMg-b+CMg-c/2」の係数については、ろう材のMgと心材のMgとのゲッター作用への寄与度等を考慮したものであるとともに、前記のとおり、効果を奏する範囲を特定するためのものであり、多くの実験の結果から導いたものである。 The coefficient of “C Mg = C Mg-b + C Mg-c / 2” takes into consideration the degree of contribution to the getter action of Mg of the brazing material and Mg of the core material, and as described above, the effect To identify the range in which the player plays, and is derived from the results of many experiments.

 したがって、ろう材にMnを含有させる場合、ろう材のMnの含有量は、2.0質量%以下である。
(Mn of brazing material: 2.0% by mass or less)
The brazing material Mn improves the corrosion resistance. Although the detailed mechanism by which Mn improves the corrosion resistance has not been elucidated, Al-Mn-Si compounds are formed, and Mn and Si-depleted layers around the compound become potential dark areas, and corrosion progresses preferentially Therefore, it is presumed that the corrosion is dispersed and the corrosion resistance is improved.

 次に、本実施形態に係るアルミニウム合金ブレージングシートのろう付方法について説明する。
[アルミニウム合金ブレージングシートのろう付方法]
 本実施形態に係るアルミニウム合金ブレージングシートのろう付方法は、フラックスを使用しない、いわゆるフラックスレスろう付であって、不活性ガス雰囲気において所定の加熱条件で加熱するという方法である。
Next, the brazing method of the aluminum alloy brazing sheet according to the present embodiment will be described.
[Brazing method of aluminum alloy brazing sheet]
The brazing method of the aluminum alloy brazing sheet according to the present embodiment is so-called fluxless brazing which does not use a flux, and is a method of heating under a predetermined heating condition in an inert gas atmosphere.
(加熱条件:昇温速度)
 本実施形態に係るブレージングシートを加熱(ろう付)する際、350℃から560℃までの昇温速度が1℃/min未満であると、この昇温過程において心材及びろう材のMgがろう材表層部に過剰に拡散し、ろう材表面においてMgOが生成される可能性が高くなり、ろう付性が低下するおそれがある。一方、350℃から560℃までの昇温速度が500℃/minを超えると、この昇温過程において心材及びろう材のMgがろう材表層部に適切に拡散せず、ゲッター作用が不十分となる可能性が高くなり、ろう付性が低下するおそれがある。
 したがって、350℃から560℃までの昇温速度は、1℃/min以上500℃/min以下が好ましい。
(Heating condition: Heating rate)
When heating (brazing) the brazing sheet according to the present embodiment, if the temperature rising rate from 350 ° C. to 560 ° C. is less than 1 ° C./min, Mg in the core material and the brazing material in the temperature rising process is brazing material The excessive diffusion to the surface layer portion increases the possibility that MgO is generated on the surface of the brazing material, which may lower the brazability. On the other hand, when the temperature rising rate from 350 ° C. to 560 ° C. exceeds 500 ° C./min, Mg in the core material and the brazing material does not properly diffuse in the surface layer portion of the brazing material during this temperature rising process, and the getter action is insufficient. And the brazability may be reduced.
Therefore, the temperature rising rate from 350 ° C. to 560 ° C. is preferably 1 ° C./min or more and 500 ° C./min or less.
 なお、ろう材表面におけるMgOが生成される可能性をより低くするため、350℃から560℃までの昇温速度は、10℃/min以上が好ましい。また、ゲッター作用をより確実に発揮させるため、350℃から560℃までの昇温速度は、300℃/min以下が好ましい。
 一方、560℃からの降温速度については特に限定されず、例えば、5℃/min以上1000℃/min以下であればよい。
In order to further reduce the possibility of the formation of MgO on the surface of the brazing material, the temperature rising rate from 350 ° C. to 560 ° C. is preferably 10 ° C./min or more. Moreover, in order to exhibit the getter effect more reliably, the temperature rising rate from 350 ° C. to 560 ° C. is preferably 300 ° C./min or less.
On the other hand, the temperature lowering rate from 560 ° C. is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 5 ° C./min or more and 1000 ° C./min or less.
 560℃から実際の加熱温度(後記する加熱温度の範囲内の所定の最高到達温度)までの昇温速度は特に限定されないものの、350℃から560℃までの昇温速度と同じ範囲内の速度とすればよい。また、実際の加熱温度から560℃までの降温速度についても特に限定されないものの、560℃からの降温速度と同じ範囲内の速度とすればよい。 Although the heating rate from 560 ° C. to the actual heating temperature (a predetermined maximum temperature within the heating temperature range described later) is not particularly limited, the heating rate within the same range as the heating rate from 350 ° C. to 560 ° C. do it. Further, although the temperature decrease rate from the actual heating temperature to 560 ° C. is not particularly limited, it may be a rate within the same range as the temperature decrease rate from 560 ° C.
(加熱条件:加熱温度、保持時間)
 本実施形態に係るブレージングシートを加熱する際の加熱温度(ろう溶融温度)は、ろう材が適切に溶融する560℃以上620℃以下であり、580℃以上620℃以下が好ましい。そして、この温度域における保持時間が10秒未満であると、ろう付現象(酸化膜の破壊、雰囲気の酸素濃度の低下、接合部への溶融ろうの流動)が生じるのに必要な時間が不足する可能性がある。
 したがって、560℃以上620℃以下の温度域(好ましくは580℃以上620℃以下の温度域)における保持時間は、10秒以上が好ましい。
(Heating conditions: heating temperature, holding time)
The heating temperature (brazing melting temperature) when heating the brazing sheet according to the present embodiment is 560 ° C. or more and 620 ° C. or less at which the brazing material is appropriately melted, and is preferably 580 ° C. or more and 620 ° C. or less. And if the holding time in this temperature range is less than 10 seconds, the time required for the occurrence of brazing phenomenon (destruction of oxide film, reduction of oxygen concentration in the atmosphere, flow of molten solder to the joint) is insufficient there's a possibility that.
Therefore, the holding time in a temperature range of 560 ° C. to 620 ° C. (preferably a temperature range of 580 ° C. to 620 ° C.) is preferably 10 seconds or more.
 なお、ろう付現象をより確実に発生させるため、560℃以上620℃以下の温度域(好ましくは580℃以上620℃以下の温度域)における保持時間は、30秒以上が好ましく、60秒以上がより好ましい。一方、保持時間の上限については特に限定されないものの、1500秒以下であればよい。 In order to generate the brazing phenomenon more surely, the holding time in a temperature range of 560 ° C. or more and 620 ° C. (preferably a temperature range of 580 ° C. or more and 620 ° C. or less) is preferably 30 seconds or more and 60 seconds or more. More preferable. On the other hand, although the upper limit of the holding time is not particularly limited, it may be 1500 seconds or less.

 そして、本実施形態に係るアルミニウム合金ブレージングシートのろう付方法は、雰囲気を真空にする必要はなく、常圧(大気圧)で行うことができる。
(Inert gas atmosphere)

It is. The inert gas atmosphere is preferably an atmosphere having as low an oxygen concentration as possible. Specifically, the oxygen concentration is preferably 50 ppm or less, more preferably 10 ppm or less.
And the brazing method of the aluminum alloy brazing sheet which concerns on this embodiment does not need to evacuate an atmosphere, and can be performed by a normal pressure (atmospheric pressure).

Needless to say, conventionally known conditions may be used, and the conditions can be appropriately changed as long as the effects obtained by the treatment can be obtained.
 なお、本実施形態に係るブレージングシートのろう付方法は、使用するブレージングシートの心材及びろう材の成分と含有量とが特定されていることから、優れた耐食性も発揮する。よって、本実施形態に係るブレージングシートのろう付方法によると、ろう付後の構造体が様々な使用環境・使用雰囲気にも対応することができる。 In addition, the brazing method of the brazing sheet according to the present embodiment exhibits excellent corrosion resistance because the components and the contents of the core material and brazing material of the brazing sheet to be used are specified.

[ろう付性評価]
 ろう付性は、竹本正ら著、「アルミニウムブレージングハンドブック(改訂版)」(軽金属溶接構造協会、2003年3月発行)の132~136頁に記載されている評価方法により評価した。
 詳細には、ろう付相当加熱前の供試材から面寸法が25mm×55mmの試験片を切り出した。そして、図2A、Bに示すように、水平に置いた下板10(3003Al合金板(厚さ1.0mm×縦幅25mm×横幅60mm))と、この下板10に対して垂直に立てて配置した上板11(試験片(縦幅25mm×横幅55mm))との間に、φ2mmのステンレス製スペーサ12を挟んで、一定のクリアランスを設定した。また、上板11をワイヤ13で固定した。尚、図2Bにおける符号14は「フィレット」である。

[Brazability evaluation]
The brazing property was evaluated by the evaluation method described in Takemoto et al., “Aluminum Brazing Handbook (revised edition)” (March, 2003, published by the Light Metal Welded Structure Association, March 2003).
In detail, the test piece of 25 mm x 55 mm of surface dimensions was cut out from the sample material before brazing equivalent heating. Then, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the lower plate 10 (3003 Al alloy plate (thickness 1.0 mm × vertical width 25 mm × horizontal width 60 mm)) placed horizontally is erected vertically to the lower plate 10. A fixed clearance was set by sandwiching the stainless steel spacer 12 of φ2 mm between the upper plate 11 (the test piece (vertical width 25 mm × horizontal width 55 mm)) disposed. In addition, the upper plate 11 was fixed by the wire 13. In addition, the code | symbol 14 in FIG. 2B is a "fillet."
And it joined by brazing on the conditions of the above-mentioned brazing equivalent heating. After brazing and bonding, the brazeability was quantified by measuring a length L (gap filling length) in which the gap between the lower and upper plates was filled.
Strictly speaking, this brazing property is the gap filling property, and is caused by the occurrence of thermal deformation of the brazing sheet and the members to be joined at the time of brazing, which are generated when the members are assembled. It is brazability which considered the crevice between member joint surfaces which arises.
 ろう付性評価として、間隙充填長さが45mm以上のものを「☆」、35mm以上45mm未満のものを「◎」、25mm以上35mm未満のものを「○」、15mm以上25mm未満のものを「△」、15mm未満のものを「×」と評価し、「☆」、「◎」、「○」、「△」を合格、「×」を不合格と評価した。 As the brazing property evaluation, those with a gap filling length of 45 mm or more are “☆”, those with 35 mm or more and less than 45 mm are “◎”, those with 25 mm or more and less than 35 mm are “O”, those with 15 mm or more and less than 25 mm 」", Those less than 15 mm were evaluated as "x", and "☆", "◎", "○", and "Δ" were evaluated as pass and "x" was evaluated as failure.
 表4に示す供試材については、前記したろう付性評価のみ実施したが、表3に示す供試材については、前記したろう付性評価に加えて、以下に示す耐食性評価についても実施した。 For the test materials shown in Table 4, only the brazeability evaluation described above was carried out, but for the test materials shown in Table 3, in addition to the above-described brazing property evaluation, corrosion resistance evaluation shown below was also carried out .
[耐食性評価]
 ろう付相当加熱後の供試材から面寸法が50mm×50mmの試験片を切り出した。この試験片について、ろう材側が試験面(40mm×40mm)となるように、心材面全体と端面全体およびろう材表面の外縁5mm幅の領域を、シールテープを用いてシールした。そして、シールした試験片をOY水(Cl:195質量ppm、SO 2-:60質量ppm、Cu2+:1質量ppm、Fe3+:30質量ppm、pH:3.0)に浸漬し、20日間、浸漬試験を実施した。詳細には、この浸漬試験は、OY水を、室温から1時間で88℃まで加熱し、この88℃で7時間保持した後、室温まで1時間で冷却し、この室温にて15時間保持するという一連の流れを1日1サイクルとし、20日間行うというものであった。
 浸漬試験後、試験面の中でも腐食が最も顕著な領域を光学顕微鏡により断面観察し、腐食形態と腐食深さを求めた。
[Corrosion resistance evaluation]
A test piece with a surface dimension of 50 mm × 50 mm was cut out from the test material after brazing equivalent heating. With respect to this test piece, the entire core surface and the entire end face and a region 5 mm wide at the outer edge of the surface of the brazing material were sealed using a sealing tape so that the brazing material side was a test surface (40 mm × 40 mm). Then, OY The sealed test specimen Water (Cl -: 195 mass ppm, SO 4 2-: 60 mass ppm, Cu 2+: 1 mass ppm, Fe 3+: 30 mass ppm, pH: 3.0) was immersed, The immersion test was carried out for 20 days. Specifically, this immersion test heats OY water from room temperature to 88 ° C. in 1 hour and holds it at this 88 ° C. for 7 hours, then cools to room temperature in 1 hour and holds it at this room temperature for 15 hours A series of flow was made one cycle a day, and it was to be performed for 20 days.
